Subject: Halo rip-off?

Ok I have been a strong halo 3 fan (until it broke [sad face]) and I have bought all the map packs for it. Now this is what I heard (correct me if i'm wrong but) Halo 3 ODST will be a $60 2 disk edition featuring one disk firefight and campaign and the other containing Halo: 3 multiplayer including the heroic, legendary, mythic map packs as well as three new maps ok?
now figure this out
heroic= $10
legendary= $10
mythic= $10
maps that come with ODST= $10
new gametype= $0 (FREE)
new campaign= $20-$30
so total= $60-$70 right?
but wait i have all the maps already (exept ODST maps)!? so total= $30-$40

I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

3 new mythic maps.

Why don't you level 50's out there, when you finally decide to apply for colleges...why don't you put that you were a level 50 on your application. And put it on your job resume, too. See how much it matters, and how much people care.

Or how how about
halo 3 multiplayer content disk - ~$15 for maps and say ~$25 for the multi player it self

New full game (single player + new multi player, both unlike halo 3 ) $60, like every new game

New maps for halo 3 - ~$10

access to Halo reach beta - Free bonus

~ = aproximate

soo ~ $110 worth of content for $60 ohhh man!

and yeah ODST is its own game. it is no longer an expansion pack

Stop complaining, its a new game, new campaign, new characters, fire fight, Halo Reach beta, all the map packs. Not to be rude or anything but It's not Bungie's fault your cheap, it's only $99 you can wait till the price drops after a few months. Don't forget Bungie is a company they need to make a profit btw you need to consider the cost of advertisement, Postage and Handling and other aspects that may affect the cost

I remember when $40 was the traditional 'Expensive" game cost. *glare*

3 Mythic Maps = 10
New Campaign = 20
Firefight = (depends on number of levels) 10 - 15

I just found out that I can pre-order it for 45. (As opposed to the 60 a regular Xbox 360 game costs). I guess I'm going to get this game...but I woudn't get it for 60.

Urgh...

Halo 3: ODST is two games - Halo 3, and Halo 3: ODST. Admittedly, it's not the full Halo 3, but not many people will complain about a lack of Campaign.

Halo 3 is currently about £15 ($20?) and ODST is a new game, worth at least £30. ($40?) That's at least £45, or $60. Add the pay-for maps, and you've got about £55-60, or $70-80.

Wielding a double-bladed chainsaw, wearing a potato sack on your head and spinning around mindlessly is amiably quick at getting anything done

The UK is getting it at about £30-£35 which for once is cheaper than what the US is paying (we normally end up paying more).

Not sure how much this game is in Euros

dont forget the collecters edition which is 100$ including a controller that can later be bougt on ebay but is only made for that specific game so the limited edition should be over 100$ beacause of all the stuff

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

And why are you marking Firefight, the main reason tons of people will be buying this game, as free? For the sake of your argument?

Heroic is a free map pack now.

  • 07.27.2009 12:15 PM PDT

Well...
Im buying collectors edition from Gamestop which is 100 dollars.
It comes with the Game and a Halo ODST controller..
So its not that bad.
Controllers are usually 60 bucks, in this case its only 40.
And the game will be worth it, especially for me who doesnt have the legendary or mythic map packs.
So 60 dollars isnt alot, stop complaining, dont buy it if you think its a ripoff.

its called marketing.

and the game coming with H3 multiplayer and all maps is for the dollar value to add up so they can make money. quite frankly, its too bad for you if you've already paid for the other maps.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

You were never required to buy the map packs.
